Getting ready for the season

Spring is finally here and the Dacha season is around the corner. Trips to our country home are becoming more regular. There is a lot that needs to be done and the grads have fun helping. Last weekend Denis worked on the floor in the banya and made a sand box. No, not to play in :) but to meet the fire safety requirements. Denis is good at carpentry. The others were burning grass and trash, raking, tilling, and building a greenhouse. Ah, and of course riding bikes, sharing meals and having great fellowship. When the nights get warmer, they will plant radishes in this greenhouse and maybe some other vegetables. Everybody loved working at the Dacha and are anxious for warmer weather when they can spend several days there.
